Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Shashi Tharoor has said the fight was for “the ideal of India as a secular and democratic nation, and not any one party or individual.”
Speaking to journalists after casting his vote in Thiruvananthapuram on April 26, Mr. Tharoor said the prime aim was to defeat the BJP’s polarising and divisive agenda, which struck at the secular and democratic core of the Constitution.
He said the Congress would heal the divisions and unite the people. It would restore federal consensus and promote a democratic and inclusive culture.
